POINTED REMARKS.
Persons Who Did Not Believe I'm Wasting
Time in Idle Talk.

Time i'm Idle Talk.
The characteristics of several nations
have been summed up in the following
concise form: The first thing Span
lard does on founding a colony is to
build a gallows; a Portuguese, to build
a church; an Englishman, drinking
booth, and Frenchman, q dancing
floor.
A cobbler visited one of the large
manufactures the other day, and
for the first time in his life saw
shoes made by machinery. ''What
do you think of that?" asked the fore
man. "It beats awl,'' was the laconic
and significant reply. A sensible"
woman, as DIR. Abernethy would have
called her, was discovered by shy
man, who made her a rather original
proposal. He bought wedding ring
and sent it to the lady, enclosing a
sheet of note paper with the brief ques
ton: "Does it ftp" By return of post
he received for answer: beautifully"
1t is related that Makart, the great
Viennese painter, is even more taciturn
than Won Moltke, the man who is silent
in seven languages. An American,
who had been told that the best way
to get on friendly terms with the artist
would be to play chess with him at the
/; cafe to which he resorted nightly,
watched his opportunity, and when
Makart' s opponent rose, slipped into his
chair. AT last his dream was about to
be realized he was to spend
an evening in Makart's society.
The painter signed to him to play,
and the game began and went
on with no other sound than the NOV
ing of the pieces. At last the Ameri-
can made the winning move and ex-
claimed ''Mater' Up rose Makart in
disgust and stalked out, saying angrily
) to friend who asked why he left SO
early: "Oh, / can't stand playing
with chatterbox."
The expressions used by some boys
and girls if written as pronounced
would look like a foreign language.
Specimens of boys conversation like
the following may be called shorthand
talking: "Warejego lasnight?" "Had-
der skate" ''Jerind the ice hardin
good?" Eyes; hard 'nough. =" "Jer
goerlone?" mo; Bill'n Joe wenter-
long" "Howlate jerstay?" ''Pastate. :"
"Lemmeknow wenyergoin, woncherP
I wanter go'nshowyer howto skate. ="
sH-m, fcoodn' skate better'n you I'd
sell out 'nquit." "Wel, we'll tryerace
'nseefyercan.
The well-known answer of the Greeks
to the Persian King before the battle
of Thermopyle was rivaled by the de-
spatch of General Suvarof to the Rus
sian Empress: "Hurrah! Ismail's oursr'
The Empress returned an answer
equally brief: "Hurrah Field Mar
shal!'
The message from Lord Charles
Beresford to his wife from the fort near
Metemmeh was pithy enough: "Quite
well and cheerful. Privations have
been severe; thirst, hunger, battles
desperate; but things look better"
There are some quaint and pithy
epistles on record. Quin, when of
Tended by Rich, went away in resent
ment and wrote: 81 am at Bath" The
answer was as laconic, though not
quite SO civil: ''Stay there. % Cham.

WELL-FED BIRDS.
The Easy Familiarity of the Pigeons OF
st. Marks, Venice.

st. Marks, venice.
Within twenty PAGES of st. Marks
on the piazza stands the famous Cam
PAMELA, a venerable time-worn tower
more than ten centuries old, still rails
ing it's head cloudwards as proudly and
defantly as in those checkered days
long since gone by when it foated its
lights on the shores of the Adriatic,
and announced to the incoming seamen
and travellers in the ofing that they
were in sighting distance of the capital
of the glorious republic of Venice.
Equally old and equally venerable are
the figures of the two majestic lions
crouching near one of the lateral wings
of st. Mark s-their fangs drawn and
their faces disfgured by the wear and
tear of ages-singularly interesting
looking pieces of sculpture, which are
in themselves so many links that bind
the Venetian decay of the present with
the Venetian splendor and gorgeous
ness of the past. While l was giving
full rein to my fancy on the wonderful
things that could have been seen by
these leonine eyes, if they had only
been living ones, received tap on
the shoulder, and, turning around, saw
a tall, athletic Hibernian friend of mine
welding six-sou loaf of bread in one
hand and gesticulating in rather &C.
centric style. To say the least of it, ]
thought his conduct slightly irrever-
ent-romping about as he was in such
close proximity to the cathedral. Mr..
| H., the Hibernian in question, was,
however, playing his part in little
comedy meant to surprise me. After
attracting the notice of the pigeons on
the piazza, he covered his own shoulders
and mine with fresh white crumbs, anC
when, 10 in the twinkling of an eye
the whole square seemed to disappear
from my gaze, and | could see nothing
ing mass of pigeons. They perched OF
nv hat, fastened themselves to the
panels of my overcoat and clustered
in legion numbers all over my person
These birds are very tame-the tamest
fancy, in Europe. Tradition anC
custom have made them SO, for from
time immemorial the Piazza San Marco
has been their abiding place, and wei
tended they have been and are by thu
burghers and DANES of the city. Their
must be over thousand of thes
pigeons lowering over the piazza
There is always somebody about throw
ing them their crumbs, or littl
pole'ata, but if you want to have
swarm of them swooping down upol
you, you must do as my Hibernian chun
and treat them to what Sam Love
would style the ''lashins and lawns.

A Sluggish Liver

Causes the Stomach and Bowels to be-
come disordered, and the whole system
to suffer from debility. In all such
cases Ayers Pills give prompt relief.
After much suffering from Liver and
Stomach troubles, I have finally been
cured by taking Ayers Cathartic Pills.
1 always find them prompt and thorough
in their action, and their occasional use
keeps me in perfectly healthy condi-
ton. - Ralph Weeman, Annapolis, Md.
Twenty-Five years ago I suffered from
torpid liver, which was restored to
healthy action by taking Ayers Pills.
Since that time / have never been with
out them. They regulate the bowels,
assist digestion, and increase the appe-
tite, more surely than any other medi-
cine. Paul Churchill, Haverhill, Mass.
INVlGORATED.
I know of no remedy equal to Ayers
Pills for Stomach and Liver disorders.
I suffered from Torpid Liver, and Dys-
pepsia, for eighteen months. My skin
was yellow, and my tongue coated. I
had no appetite, suffered from Head
ache, was pale and emaciated. A few
boxes of Ayers Pills, taken in moderate
doses, restored me to perfect health, -
Waldo Miles, Oberlin, Ohio.
Ayers Pills are a superior family
medicine. They strengthen and invig-
crate the digestive organs, create an
appetite, and remove the horrible de-
preston and dependency resulting
from Liver Complaint I have used
these Pills, in my family, for years, and
they never fail to give entire satisfac-
ton. Otto Montgomery, Oshkosh, Wis.

Source of Diphtheria.

Two years ago an epidemic of sore
throat broke out in England which soon
showed an infectious character, and the
schools had to be closed. The district
was previously free from sore throat
disease of every kind. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the first cases had their
milk from particular farm. This be-
ing visited, it was found that, within a
few months, there had been five separ-
ate attacks of foot and mouth disease,
and that one cow was still suffering
from it. There is evidence that diph-

A DISASTROUS WRECK.
Three Mem Killed and Five Injured in
Pennsylvania Collision.

IeuuBslNauIh Cu1AlblOuS
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov 25.-Two freight
trains on the Wheeling division of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway collided
near Cochrsne's mills, fifteen miles from
this city, about 1915 o'clock this morn =
ing. Both trains were completely de-
molished and three men killed and five
others injured. One of the killed was
William Heddeman, foreman of Wheel
ing. Two others are still under the de-
brls, and their names are not known. The
injured were: Thomas Gates, engineer,
crushed and bruised seriously; Frank
Appleby, fireman, hurt about the head
aud body, not dangerous; Peter Mccain,
fireman, head badly cut, arm broken and
body bruised, seriously; Thomas F. Tam /,
brakeman, cut and bruised, not danger
Gus; Pat Gof, engineer, head badly cut,
foot mashed and cut about the body, very
serious.
There appears to haYe been no orders
issued IS to which train was to lay over
at T anleyville for the other to pass. The
trains were running at a high rate of
speed, and as they rounded q curve near
Cochrane's mills they came into view too
late to be checked. An instant later they
collided with terrible crash. Both en-
gines were lifted from the rails and
thrown to one side completely wrecked.
The cars were all derailed and reduced
almost to kindling wood, and the debris
was piled up high around the engines
The track wss torn for considerable
distance, completely blockading the road.
There was not moments warning, and
both crews were caught in the wreck
Three of the train men were buried from
sight. They were almost instantly killed.

GALVESTON.
Ex-Treasursr Burke Declared Not Guilty
and Discharged from Custody.

Ex-Treasursr Burke Declared Not Guilty,
and Discharged from Custody.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. % The trial
of W. J. Burke, ex-treasurer of Galveston
county, for the embezzlement of over
$40, 600 of county funds, began to-day
before Judge Cook in the Criminal Dis
trict court. It will DE remembered when
Burke returned from California and at the
time of his voluntary surrender in San
Francisco he repeatedly announced
that he should plead guilty
and thus quiet his accusing
conscience. Since then 1t seems he has
at least modified his intention, for Hon.
James 3 Stubs appeared for his attor-
ney today, and the unfortunate prisoner,
looking pale and careworn, arose and IN
o low voice pleaded "not guilty" The
witnesses for the state were the sew
eral county cffi;ials, who swore
to the payment of Vari-
Gus moneys to Burke and his
failure to properly account for portions
of the same. Not until ex-Sheriff Owen
took the witness stand did it become sp-
parent that the defense would set up in
sanity and mental irresponsibiIitY. On
Cross examination Owen said Burke's
conduct was peculiar for several weeks
prior to his departure. He mad cranky
notions, was very excitable and
abused people; was extrava-
CANT in his expressions. After
Burke surrendered himself witness
thought he was crazy. The state rested
it's case late this afternoon. The defense
was brief. Burke was not placed on the
stand at all. His wife testified as to his
excited and unnatural state of mind dur
ing the campsign for his re-elec-
ton. A few other witnesses
were introduced to show his men,
tai condition and the defense rested.
The court held night session, during
which arguments were made. Burke's
attorney claimed the state had
failed TO make case against his client
and pleads Burke's temporary irresponsi-
bility. The case went to the jury at 9 80
and at 9 80 the jury returned verdict of
"not guilty." and the prisoner was dis
charged. Burke, after receiving the con-
CALCULATIONS of few friends, left for his
home accompanied by his wife and
daughter, who attended him throughout
the trial.
The stock of clothing of the attached
firm OF Pericus & R)senfeld was sold al
auction to-day to NJ Schram for $11, 900.
The stock invoiced over S18 900.

a CurIy.Hsadsd Medicine Vendor Holds the
Balance of Power In Georgia.
ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 25.--The wet and
dry campaign has assumed novel phase.
For some time 8 travelling medicine ven
dor known as Yellowstone Kit has been
in the city drawing large
crowds of negroes. As the negro
is the balance of power, Yellowstone
Kit was besieged by both parties to drop
word favorable to their cause. One
prominent prohibitionist offered him $500
II he would come over 10 the dry side.
Elk governors, senators, judges, minis
ters and the leading business men
crowded around the curly headed quack
Wednesday night he came out for the wet
ticket and carried the negroes
with him. They took him upon
their shoulders and carried him
around. Yesterday the police, who are
under prohibition management, stopped
Kit from his usual tree exhibition. This
proceeding. coming in the juncture 1t did,
has aroused the -prohlbitionists, who
denounce it as an attempt TO suppress
free speech. Kit has taken the field, and
1t looks as If he was going to be the
Moses of ants.
